“A lusty trout to my glad surprise,
Speckled and bright on the crest arise,
Then splash and plunge in a dazzling whirl,
Hope springs anew as the wavelets curl.

Gracefully swinging from left to right,
Action so gentle- motion so slight,.
Tempting, enticing, on craft intent,
Till yielding tip by the game is bent”
 
1873 on the Saranac River- Adirondacks-A. B. Lamberton

The essence for me….technician, planner, student aside of this most satisfying obsession….it will be as it always has been the mental addiction…the memories that satisfy. ‘lusty trout’ indeed.
